School

Colegio Evelyn Rogers opened in 1951, founded by Evelyn Clark de Rogers who wanted to
offer the Guatemalan population a bilingual education while integrating values. Since then, it has
proudly graduated 44 senior classes.
Colegio Evelyn Rogers is a private, co-educational, bilingual (Spanish-English) school
currently enrolling 552 students in grades Maternal (2 year-olds) through 12th grade. The school is
run on the Guatemalan school calendar, January thru October and is fully accredited by the
Guatemalan Ministry of Education. As a private institution, the school is committed to developing
students skills and values while building their scientific, technological, cultural and athletic
knowledge. Colegio Evelyn Rogers long-term goal is to contribute towards the formation of an
inclusive, just and participative society.

Curriculum

The academic program is organized on a combined rotating block schedule. On average,

students take four 39-minute classes and two 78-minute block classes daily. The course load
varies depending on the grade level with up to 8.5 academic credits per semester. Graduates earn
a Guatemalan Bachillerato en Ciencias y Letras degree which is the equivalent of a US high school
diploma.

The curriculum is well-rounded, based on the constructivist model and dictated by the
Guatemalan Ministry of Education. Colegio Evelyn Rogers is particularly recognized for the quality
of its English program. In addition to the Ministry-required subjects, some of which are taught in
English, students have four years of social studies in English (US history, two years of world history
and a fourth year of Economics). The school also strongly supports the arts, requiring that all
students receive a four-year program which includes the history of painting, sculpture, and
architecture, mythology and archaeology.
